[DaniKiller]

the even is already over?

care to post the decklist?

[yosimba123]

well the idea behind esperlark is that you have control over the field with cards like Glen and sower plus you can bring them back and with tidehollow scullers u control their hand as well so its not so much in need of power cards because what you have there will be so hard for your opponent to deal with since you have control of the game basically you just overrun them with annoying small guys with good effects

The deck looks powerful, but I think it's a little underwhelming. Now, I haven't played the deck or played against it, and a lot of great decks look weak on paper, but the deck seems to have no early game at all. Tidehollow scullers don't want to trade and don't matter much when you bring them back late game. Stillmoon cavaliers are great but mana intensive in an allready intensive deck.

I love the sower-exile combe for anti boat brew, but I don't see enough power here. Am I missing anything?

[ftwdanaconda]

Yeah, w/b tokens gets crazy pretty fast.

[TheImpossibleMan]

So are we ever going to get a decklist? Since he didn't go 5-3 in the swiss the decklist isn't being posted.
